Watchin the fires burn, lessons learned.
Bruises on my spirit & dents on my chin,
I'll never let anybody get close to me again.
Friends we can be but nothing more
I can't take the risk of not knowing what's in-store
Romantic solitude will become a daily routine
Think what you want but I'm only protecting me
I've made my attempts, only to be dealt cards of contempt.
I want someone to marry me, take care of me & bury me,
but these days that kind of love is a rarity.
I wanna be the one that makes love work,
Leaving the house with a kiss goodbye & these words
"If I let night fall on ya'll without a phone call, then something must have went wrong"
